We stopped here for one night at the last minute heading home & found the host so lovely. We arrived early for check in & that was no problem, he took us down to our beach level room & made sure we were comfortable while cracking a few jokes about the tides on the lake! Very very friendly, fantastic service...

We only stayed 1 night on our way back from Auckland. I booked through bookings.com and requested directly with the owners to change our booking to the next night ( as we got held up in Auckland). They generously swapped our booking over and were extremely friendly and accommodating. The room was very clean, spacious and beds were comfy.

Gorgeous setting by the lake wit superb views and the host was lovely. Well set up kitchen and the unit was warm. Spa bath which we enjoyed and hot pool which we didn't get a chance to use. I would certainly go back.

What a little gem.
My wife needed pampering went online & found this place, wow fantastic.
Lakefront room with inroom spa & thermal pool at the rear. My wife & I both love the water so when we arrived we sat with our feet in the hot water stream running down the side, then had spa.

From the initial booking, through reception to check-out, a great two night stay. Management very friendly and informative. Awesome lakeside room, modern, spacious, well appointed and spotless. Tiny 'gripe' - the ground floor rooms at the front have thermal underfloor that cannot be moderated - wonderful to walk on and room warmth but got too 'close' at night (gusty rain...

Awesome people, loved being close to lake on a windy night can hear small waves crashing, loved being able to watch t.v from the spa with bubbles and helped keep the room warm all night as well. Breakfast was what you excepted and when. View was awesome. Fantastic to be able to access lake front through personal gate.

Hi Colleen: we are glad that you enjoyed our facility and location, had a good time staying at our lodge. thanks for you review and looking forward to see you in the near future. All Best wishes from Lina

Magnificent views. The only thing between this motel and Lake Taupo is a walking track. Modern, clean, quiet, large self-contained room, friendly, obliging staff. Great spot for some chill time especially in the large spa with a view.
